“Shut the fuck up!” he snaps when he gets to me.
“It’s fine, guys,” I say with a sigh when I see the guys move, knowing they were about to stop him. “I knew this was going to happen but I’m glad I got to have some fun with you guys.”
Without saying anything to anyone else, he grabs me by the legs and pulls me off the table. He throws me over his shoulder and walks out of the room.
“I’ll call you tomorrow!” I hear Camryn yell through giggles as we make our way out of the house.
He drops me onto the passenger seat before heading to his side and driving off. He doesn’t say a word but when I side-eye him, yep, he’s definitely pissed. I don’t say a word either because I feel like if I do, that will probably just set his crazy ass off.
The silence is deafening but I like it. I lift my hand up to move my hair behind my ear and realize that I still have half my joint in my hand. Not thinking about it too much, I lift it the rest of the way to my mouth and take a pull before letting the smoke out.
I get about two more pulls before the joint is snatched away from me. I look over at him just as he winds down his window and throws it out. He definitely looks like he’s doing everything he can to keep his anger in check.
“Damn, you really didn’t have to waste good weed,” I slur at him.
“Shut the hell up, Raine! I’m not in the mood for your shit right now. I thought I told you to stay put when I left the house!” he snaps at me.
“You’re not my father, you know? Besides, I don’t have to listen to you. You’re nothing to me!”
“I’m just going to pretend that you didn’t open your mouth to say stupid shit. You’re not even better yet and you’re partying?”
“You sound like you care.” I shrug.
“That’s because I do fucking care about you!” he yells at me, slamming his fist down onto the steering wheel.
“Then you shouldn’t have fucking bullied me when I got here!” I scream right back at him.
“Ugh! Are we on that again? I told you I’m sorry!”
“Not fucking good enough, asshole! You still haven’t told me why you had to make my life a living hell for weeks. And I’m supposed to just accept your stupid-ass sorry?”
“I can’t, no I won’t fucking tell you because it’ll hurt you more than anything else. I’m not going to hurt you like that again!” he snaps.
“You’re a coward and I fucking hate you!” I scream as the car comes to a stop in the driveway. I stumble out of it as fast as I can. When I get inside, I run all the way upstairs and into my room.
I close and lock my door. I don’t want to be next to him for the rest of the night. A moment later, I hear him banging on my room door but I don’t move from the spot I’m sitting in at the foot of my bed.
“Baby, let me in. It’s not safe for you to be alone right now, especially when you’re so drunk,” he says through the door.
“I don’t want to see you for the rest of the night, so just respect my fucking wishes! I’ll be fine on my own like I’ve been since moving here!” I yell.
I hear him move away and guess he’s probably going for the key. Without thinking, I rush to my feet and grab the chair that’s by my desk. I wedge it against the door so that even if he does manage to open the lock, he still won’t be able to get in.
I open Spotify on my computer before connecting it to the speaker. Once the music is on, I turn it up louder. I don’t want to hear him right now.
I grab my drawing materials from under my bed and sit back down at the foot of it before I start sketching. I keep drawing until my fingers go numb and I can’t keep my eyes open any longer. I manage to get up and crawl into bed as sleep claims me, hoping that I don’t have any nightmares tonight.

RAINE
I didn’t wakeup with any nightmares last night. However, I did wake up with one killer hangover this morning. As I lie here, staring up at the ceiling as it spins or as it seems to spin, I feel like utter and complete shit.
Now that I’m just lying here with this throbbing in my skull, I’m rethinking all my life’s decisions from yesterday. I wish that I hadn’t drank so much because I feel awful. But then again, I didn’t have the nightmares that started two nights ago, right after Halloween night. I guess it was worth it in the end.
I turn my head slightly to look at the clock on my bedside table and see that I have about two hours before I need to get to school. I don’t want to go to that stupid school anymore but I have to until I can get away from here. I have to wait until April to get my college admissions letter. At this point, I really am praying for a fucking miracle.
I’ve only spent two months in this school and my academic record is most likely tanked because of all the shit I didn’t do or half-assed just to turn something in because I was dealing with other shit. So yeah, I’ll be lucky if I even get into one college at this point.
